Title: Foreign language comp
Post by: Kafla on March 13, 2022, 11:50:49 AM
Anyone up for writing a song in another language ? Wee bit of fun….

I’ve been learning Spanish….I say learning but I sound like a Scottish lunatic….even more so 🤓🤣

And I’ve tried writing in Spanish….I think it’s a real challenge and makes you appreciate those that don’t have English at their first language….

Hopefully someone will be up for it 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I don't know another language, except for a few words in German. Not enough to write a song. I'm guessing translate.google would probably not provide an adequate rendering....  It does sound like fun. Not that I can even find the time to do what I've already agree to do in other life spheres....

I once used Google translate to write a song in Latin. :P

Every song I've every written has been in a foreign language aka English  8) 8) 8) 8)

Like the idea...그냥 내 한국어에 날카롭게해야

I can just hear it now, "for all of you that know this one, you can join in 도움이 필요한 사람, 도움이 필요한 사람"  or "All the ladies in the house say 천국이 없다고 상상해봐, 할 수만 있다면 쉽다" (cheongug-i eobsdago sangsanghaebwa, hal suman issdamyeon swibda) @Sterix (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22024) - find a rhyme for that...
